The Hoffen 4 Step Dive Ladder is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps carefully to ensure secure mounting.
5.1 ഒരു മൗണ്ടിംഗ് ലൊക്കേഷൻ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്നു
Select a flat, strong surface on your boat's transom or deck that can support the ladder's weight and the weight of users. Ensure there is sufficient clearance for the ladder to extend fully and flip up when stowed.
5.2 ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ
- Position the Mounting Brackets: Place the quick-release mounting brackets on the desired installation location. Use a pencil or marker to mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes in the brackets.
- ഡ്രിൽ പൈലറ്റ് ദ്വാരങ്ങൾ: Using an appropriate drill bit for your boat's material, carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Ensure the holes are straight and of the correct diameter for the mounting screws.
- ബ്രാക്കറ്റുകൾ സുരക്ഷിതമാക്കുക: Apply marine-grade sealant around the drilled holes to prevent water intrusion. Secure the mounting brackets using the provided stainless steel screws and nuts. Ensure they are tightened firmly but do not overtighten. Note: If the provided bolts are not long enough for your transom thickness, acquire suitable marine-grade stainless steel bolts of the correct length.
- ഗോവണി ഘടിപ്പിക്കുക: Align the ladder's top mounting plate with the installed quick-release brackets. Slide the ladder onto the brackets until it clicks securely into place. The quick-release design allows for easy removal when not in use.

- Gently pull the bottom section of the ladder downwards. The telescopic sections will slide out.
- Continue pulling until all four steps are fully extended and locked into their open position. Ensure each step is securely locked before use.

6.2 Retracting and Stowing the Ladder
- From the water, push the bottom step upwards. The telescopic sections will retract.
- Continue pushing until the ladder is fully retracted and can be flipped up and secured in its stowed position.
- If equipped with a securing strap or clip, use it to hold the ladder firmly in the stowed position during transit.
